The Column Definition page lists all of the destination columns selected on the Data Source Selection page (Step 3), in the order they were selected.
1. A Required checkbox is located below each column name. If the column must be populated by this action, place a mark in the checkbox. Any columns that are required by SharePoint in a new list item are automatically marked as required.
2. The first set of three radio buttons to the right of each column name is used to specify how the column is to be populated by the action. This defaults to the setting selected for the Column Population Option on the previous page of the Actions Wizard, but can be changed if you wish.
•If you choose the Use this value radio button, then you need to use the entry area or drop-down to the right to identify the value to place in the corresponding column. This value will always be placed in the corresponding column when the action is run.
o The options presented for this radio button vary depending on the column type.
•If you choose the Value copied from selected items radio button, you will need to make a selection from the Source Column drop-down. Select the Source Column that contains the value to be copied to the published item.
o Each drop-down shows the columns selected on the Model List/Library Selection page that can be mapped to the current type of column.
•Any action definitions with one or more columns set to Value copied from selected items cannot be referenced by the Action Launcher or the Timer Activation Wizard.
3. If the value is to be entered by the user, you can choose to have the action entry form display the SharePoint description for the column, a custom description that you specify in the entry field below, or no description. The default is no description.
•For example, a custom description could be added to a date field to further clarify the way to determine the start date for the end user to enter.
4. When you are finished with all of the columns on this page, click the Next button. The Links, Attachments, Send Email, Workflow page is displayed.
